Fuel Pump..........
It depends if you want to drop your rear end or cut a hole through your car...
I chose cutting a hole since a shop was doing it and I didnt want to pay labor for dropping and reinstalling a shitty 10 bolt.

Depend on how many bears you drink while doing it 
AGAIN the LS1 guys have it made! LS1 fuel pump in about an hour. LT1 in about 2 1/2 with a 12 bolt and welded exhaust

Just be very careful when you're cutting the sheetmetal -- you CANNOT cut deep, otherwise you're going to be cutting into fuel lines. Naturally, that paired with sparks = bad news.
You can usually pick up sheets of metal (sheetmetal!) and some shallow sheetmetal screws at your local hardware store. (HomeDepot carries all this in their nuts&bolts section.) I'd probably use RTV to seal it.
-I personally removed the gas tank so that I could clean it out, but next time I'll be using the 'trap door' method as well.

IIRC, there are three wires going into the tank -- gray, black, and purple. Black is ground, purple is the fuel level sensor signal (to dash), and the grey wire I believe powers both the pump and the level sensor.
Prehaps the wiring is buggy, or the level sensor is shot/broken. If you have a digital voltmeter, you'll have to play with it when you get to that stage.
*[Edit] I may have those wires confused. It has been a while...

Alex94TAGT Thanks for the link with the images. I have replaced mine twice the old fashioned way. I was going to remove it again this weekend to add a additional fuel source for the direct port nitrous and now I will make the hole.
